Thanks, Luke, that's what I expected. I'm not interested in booting from the NVMe drive, but from the eMMC, which I assume can be partitioned, with a different distro in each partition, using GRUB at boot to select. With a 64 Gb eMMC flash storage, space might get tight, but with 128 Gb, not so much, as long as the NVMe is recognized by any of them. Plan B would be to boot from sd card, as Denny suggests. Pre-release spec isn't clear: will the Pinebook Pro have a SDHC slot or a microSD slot? Doesn't really matter, as I have a 128 Gb microSD, which can slot into a SDHC adapter.
At this point, with the Pinebook Pro not yet released, and my not having made a purchase decision, this is a hypothetical question, but I am obsessive about researching things before investing -- even for a $199 laptop.
